In an effort to keep the Daily Open Thread a little more open topic we are going to start a new daily thread for “Presidential Politics”. Please use this thread to post anything relating to the Donald Trump Administration and Presidency.

This thread will refresh daily and appear above the Open Discussion Thread.

Some Tweeters are complaining that they weren’t allowed to vote because of the redistricting map at some of the polls. Saccone was 90 votes behind when polls closed but absentee ballots hadn’t been counted yet

DI: I question the “‘Save” PDJT . Seems to me #45 has already accomplished far more good for Americans than many of his predecessors of the 21st and 20th centuries ! But I agree the continued social and civil discord being created by the LSM and his political and economic opponents could well erupt into open civil conflict.

Pa 18 did a poor job of saving Trump. Bad people those who are benefitting from his jobs and taxes, and voted for the enemy. Ingrates! Fools! Say good bye to all of it if in the mid terms they all skate to the wrong side of the rink and score one for the opponent. No KAG 2020 because Trump is staying around to get ignored, left on his own and get bullied for ingrates!

GOPe needs to stop trying to shove “Right-to-Work” Koch-heads into Union/Labor representing districts, and forcing Trump into a position to have to defend these candidates when everyone knows he doesn’t support that message.

Mike Pompeo, Director of the CIA, will become our new Secretary of State. He will do a fantastic job! Thank you to Rex Tillerson for his service! Gina Haspel will become the new Director of the CIA, and the first woman so chosen. Congratulations to all!

For all those falling for the MSM talking points, you are making a fatal flaw when comparing how our President did in this District in 2016 versus how Saccone did this evening. When you compare our President running against ultra liberal HRC, a District with 50K more Democrats said we are going with DJT. Lamb ran on all MAGA agenda items except immigration. He was further right than Saccone the Republican on certain agenda items.

Here is one area that Saccone blew and Lamb took advantage of:

Very astute. What most knew on the ground, Saccone's challenge was that he has not been overly friendly to the private sector unions. https://t.co/9YwcjaFxXK

It is not an apple to apple comparison! Had Lamb run on HRC’s agenda, he would have got destroyed. That is the point you need to remember. The majority of Democrats run to the far left not the middle. In Districts our President won, that will devastate them. Keep that in mind.

Here are a few perfect examples of their stupidity!

The Democrats are truly the gift that keep on giving! Good luck running on the platform that if you win the 2020 Presidential Election 🗳, you are going to get rid of ICE. Immigration was by far our President’s biggest agenda item that got him elected.

The Democrats mulling a run for the White House in 2020 are facing intense pressure from liberals to campaign on abolishing the agency that enforces federal immigration laws, a proposal that was once relegated to the far-left fringe.

In January, the idea was endorsed by Brian Fallon, a former top aide to 2016 Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton, and Eric Holder, President Barack Obama’s attorney general. The Daily Caller first drew attention to the calls.

“ICE operates as an unaccountable deportation force,” Fallon tweeted. “Dems running in 2020 should campaign on ending the agency in its current form.”

“Though the party has moved left on core issues — from reproductive rights to single-payer health care — it’s time for progressives to put forward a demand that deportation be taken not as the norm, but rather as a disturbing indicator of authoritarianism,” McElwee wrote.

Democratic officeholders also have been openly rebelling against ICE, including Oakland Mayor Libby Schaaf, who recently tipped off the public to an immigration raid in the San Francisco Bay Area.

Good luck with this one in November given the financial benefits that 90% of Americans feel every time they receive their paycheck!

2) This week, Congressional Democrats released a detailed tax hike plan that they promised to implement if given majority control of the House and Senate after the 2018 midterm elections. So much for the crocodile tears about the deficit–Democrats want to raise taxes not to

That won’t keep liberal gas bags from squealing about a “blue wave” in Nov., but tonight’s election just makes them look less credible…much the same as their “Blue wave Texas” was proven to be all hot air.

In this sense, PDJT won tonight. He didn’t need a big win. He just needed to prove the “blue wave” narrative was BS.

“If Lamb wins this thing, then the “Blue Wave” will be very much alive in the minds of Democrats.”
——————————-
Let’s be honest, NOTHING is going to kill that idea in the minds of dimorats. Those people LIVE in la la land.

Like I said, GOP just needed to keep it close from the fantasy gaining traction in the minds of LoFos. And a contested election, which this will undoubtedly be, is NOT going to be a convincing “blue wave” narrative win.

There have now been 8 national-level special elections since Trump took office. 7 of the seats were held by the GOP, 1 was held by a Dem.

2 of the 8 seats changed parties, both from GOP to Dem (Alabama Senate; PA18 House if Lamb wins).

Moore was hit with sexual/pedophile charges during the campaign, and was already known as a weak candidate in Alabama. Trump did not want him as the candidate.

Saccone was a bad candidate running in a +50K Dem district against a good Dem candidate from a political family who had no record to hurt him as a candidate. And Lamb ran, basically, as a conservative.

Winning and losing matters, of course, and is the ultimate bottom line. But falling into incomplete analyses that read like media talking points isn’t going to solve much, I don’t think.

Let’s also remember that McConnell and his gang went out of their way to destroy Moore.
Hard to win when your own party not only abandons you, but spends piles of money to ensure your loss. Disgraceful.

It also doesn’t help our cause when the traitorous GOPe scum in congress badmouths our President every chance they get (for example: the second tariffs were mentioned, Lyin’ Ryan raced to a microphone to denounce them.)

sd: Last I checked the margin was some 500+ votes ! And well within what I would call there ‘error/fraud factor’ !! Regardless of how it falls out, hardly a ‘convincing win ‘ for either party. And let’s not lose sight of the net result; a lame duck facing repudiation come November . Makes me wonder why the Dems are putting so much skin into this election .

Agreed, ForGod, particularly given how the race was trending late (big swings towards Lamb).

The reason why the MSM is so fevered to get the final results tonight (after the Allegheny absentees came in) rather than wait for them to come in fully tomorrow is they need to blare “BLUE WAVE COMING! TRUMP EMBARRASSED!” as soon as they can.

This is why MSNBC and CNN are talking to election officials and pushing them to get the counting done.

This is the last Dem/MSM “signpost” (if Lamb wins) before the midterms that is likely to go their way. There are 2 more special elections for the House before November, and both should be red.

They NEED this. Hence the over-hyping and urgency.

This is not a typical “Trump won by 22 points:” district. Believing it is or portraying it as such is either ignorance or propaganda.

The Dems did not get what they wanted tonight. Not cleanly.

Hopefully we win outright. But we still did some good work here, to make this much closer than where it was headed.

Pre-polls and then an interview showed that a significant number of Trump supporters went full on stupid for cute and young Conor while mouthing words or praise for President Trump, ignoring his advice and sacrifice. If these types of Trump supporters keep knocking in goals for the other team without paying attenti9n to the Team Captain, all bets are off 2020. Prayers and post cards are not enough to overcome this kind of utter lack of sense.

We still lost another 50/50 seat. The president had an inherent policy advantage that did not translate into a win. There should have been enough crossover Democrats to seal the win but that didn’t happen.

Read this. Listen to the man he interviewed. Then make the case that Donald Trump was the reason Rick Saccone underperformed. The GOP's inability to uniformly evolve into their only politically viable coalition is the Republican problem. https://t.co/kuFmYQ9Dkl

Just got off the phone with Anthony Ross who we interviewed live on MSNBC yesterday in Canonsburg–in Washington County. Trump voter. He said he was undecided. He worked 42 yrs in sheet & tube steel facility that shut down in May 2008. Tonight? Told me tonight he voted for Lamb-> pic.twitter.com/bQDw15n8PY

Saccone had a large lead at the beginning. I don’t know if it’s the unions spreading disinformation with this segment so much as it’s Saccone. They listened to their unions fear baiting over Trump’s work.

I heard a woman being interviewed on Fox yesterday and she said she was voting for Lamb because her family was in the steel business for years. You cannot fix stupid.
This guy above is no exception. Does he really think fairies brought the steel industry back.

that may all be true but if anyone thinks that Lamb the Sham will support lower taxes,tariffs and all the Trump MAGA economic policies that Pelosi ( whom L the S says he is against now ), Schumer and Co.fight tooth and nail against…. the little lone extinct Blue Dog Dem voice in the wilderness….they are dumber than a box of hammers.
Another Dem bamboozler.

Saccone has went after the unions of working men and women in PA. Pipefitters don’t forget. He was weak to begin with. POTUS knew and still put his name on the line. I love our President Donald John Trump!! MAGA.

P.S., The entire thing is shakey in that the Supremes need to strike down the PA Supreme Court’s re-districting or both candidates will not even be in district 18. Also, the “winner” will have to run in November anyway. Lots of $ for nothing IMHO.

Or is it that the unions wouldn’t let them think for themselves. The union voice is still strong and even if former Dems voted Trump they can’t shake their indoctrination. They are going to,have to hold on tight to maga or the slightest turbulence will send them backwards.

“According to the Center for Immigration Studies, the $18 billion wall will pay for itself by curbing the importation of crime, drugs and illegal immigrants who tend to go on the federal dole…” https://t.co/NdLC6jZwWE

California’s sanctuary policies are illegal and unconstitutional and put the safety and security of our entire nation at risk. Thousands of dangerous & violent criminal aliens are released as a result of sanctuary policies, set free to prey on innocent Americans. THIS MUST STOP!

I assume the “sanctuary policy ” he refers to is the removal of the word “violent” from certain crimes makes the criminal now eligible for release from prison. Some that stand out are rape, possession of child pornography, possession of drugs, being an accessory to murder but not actually being the one who pulls the trigger, and burglary. Early Release has different criteria in different States.

If we don’t have a wall system, we’re not going to have a country. Congress must fund the BORDER WALL & prohibit grants to sanctuary jurisdictions that threaten the security of our country & the people of our country. We must enforce our laws & protect our people! #BuildTheWallpic.twitter.com/NGqNueukvj

No riots, no paid fighters, no hoohaw today. The die hards protested but fizzled. Its been raining since late in the afternoon so they didnt want to get wet either. The SOS announcement took the wind out of the sails of much coverage here but its ok. A nice low key 1st visit and Miramar got to host POTUS!

There was to be a fund raiser dinner at a very wealthy person’s home tonight, $35K a plate, $5million total expected. Last night I chanced upon a Twitter group planning a protest and asking if anyone had a map to the home. I thought about posting a bogus one.

This seems harmless enough… But, not knowing your twitter stuff, you almost need a special twitter account, so it looks legit leftish.. Nome sayin? My twitter is #MAGA and anyone would see that… hmmmmmmmm

It was my great honor to deliver a message at the Marine Corps Air Station Miramar to our GREAT U.S. Military, straight from the heart of the American People: We support you, we thank you, we love you – and we will always have your back! pic.twitter.com/oCt1nH3DON

Liberals this morning trying to figure out a way to criticize Trump for making the director of the CIA a female for the first time ever following the Rex Tillerson move.#rexit#Pompeopic.twitter.com/MmmR0SuZ5R

sunnydaze, her CIA job, which she held for many years, was to supervise the torture program, including water-boarding, which to me says she will quickly be unconfirmed and the person holding the job now, Pompeo’s current assistant will get it. BUT Trump will first get credit for trying to promote the first-ever female to that position. John McCain has already written to the Senate to advise them not to confirm her.

Bill Still reports on Sean Hannity report on Obama hiring Fusion GPS for a dossier on… Romney for the 2012 campaign. What is the chance that the FBI used that Dossier to get FISA permission to spy on Romney?

Anyone think Hillary and her stupid bunch thought of the FISA court first? I doubt it…

In 2012 2nd Debate (Palm Beach Fl) CNN was outside interviewing Stephanie Cutter she went into a very menacing speech and said something to this effect “to those of you who are with us we are with you and to those of you who are against us we know WHO YOU ARE then made a veiled threat, at that very second I told my friends that I was watching the debates with “Oh my Gosh they are spying on us, I knew that very minute what was going on and had a very sick feeling” No doubt in my mind they spied on Romney and Ryan as I have stated many times….

I told everyone I knew and do business with in 2012 we have a big problem the BHO admin is spying on our pols and people they consider their enemies I was heart sick and had a sick fear that things were very bad in this country. I felt this was why BHO was being given a free pass because they were blackmailing people/Pols.. After the spying on Trump admin came out my phone rang off the hook with people calling to say well you’ve been right about this spying all along.

I’m not sure if someone posted this, it is a good thread. It gives background on Fusion GPS and how they used the same tactics against Romney and further back.

On the Saccone vs Lamb race…..There were some dynamics at play here. I’m from the district. First, Murphy left disgraced and that hurt the Republican brand.Badly… Murphy always ran and was a moderate in a D (50,000) district. Second, the confere appointment of a Saccone ( there were a total of 3 including Saccone for Murphy’s seat) left two camps, the westmoreland county candidate and Allegheny county candidate butt hurt. At least one candidate virtually gave zero support to Saccone. That non support alone probably cost Saccone 1,000 votes. Three, Saccone is a good guy but lacks charisma and honestly appeal to some Conservative democrats and moderate republicans. This is zero reflection of Trump, who is loved here. The real blame is the lack of continuity in the republican leadership in this district and state. Plus individuals who put person before party. Local politics folks, that’s it in a nut shell. Don’t lose heart, and certainly don’t look at this as some blue trend. It’s not. The stars never aligned on this one. We need Trump like candidates to emerge and they will. Lesson..so important to have everyone on same page and fighting in same direction.

Over on the Sundance post about this (last night) someone mentioned that no one went out to the Amish farms to take Amish voters to the polls…in a race where every vote mattered. Sounds horrible, right?

I’m disappointed obviously, but a realist. Trump is a “Difference maker”…Democrats really like him in this district, and his support has not wavered. These local races come down to a clean ground game and party unity. We did NOT have enough party unity. We had some selfish players and it probably cost us a winnable race. I’m not making excuses it’s just the damn truth. The Republican Party in many ways is its worst enemy because we can’t come together at the right time. We see this Gope fighting MAGA. The Dems are really solutionless, but they stick together while we go into a circular firing squad. When we find good candidates who can articulate and lead and have that charisma we win every time. Murphy was anchor on this race. Believe it…But in the end it wasn’t lamb being some great candidate…he was not. It was a Republican Party, splintered just enough at mostly the local level and the Gope who fail to support that snatched sure victory with a very average R candidate. The perfect storm.

Need unity, yes. Would also be nice to have voters who can see through the bullshit, not not vote by rote. A second grader could have figured out that this guy was a lyin’ SOB. I don’t care if Saccone was a ham sandwich. Never vote for a democrap.

Thanks. Great post. I have one small objection: Every district has party people who get butthurt when their candidate isn’t picked in the primary. That’s part of the margin for error.

Democrats have their ideal candidate template. He/She will be stealth mode on MAGA issues and not mention impeachment. Like much else in life, one can beat nothing with something. We need actual accomplishments this legislative term. Time is of the essence.

I’m not there, but as a poll worker what likely happened is that some of the precincts had confusion because of the New district lines, and people weren’t in those precincts anymore – this race was set up on Old district lines. What SHOULD have happened in that case, is that a provisional ballot should have been cast and then sorted out after the fact. Turning them away was wrong, probably lost some votes there.

Hey, you and Jarrett may be right about Sessions but there has just been enough leaked out to make me think there is more going on behind the scenes than we are privy to. I believe this administration holds more than military actions close to the vest, But then I have always been the optinest,

MUST LISTEN: American Intelligence Media with Thomas Paine released a YT report on the Senior Executive Service (SES), a largely unknown sector of our government that operates with controls and stashes operatives in highly sensitive places where they interfere with the directives of the President and his executive staff. Field McConnell of Abel Danger has been ranting about this for years as his sister set up the program under Jimmy Carter in the 1970s, and it has become a cancer on the ideals of our Constitutional Republic, metastasizing into every cranny and kingdom around the world. You name, they have a finger in the planning and operations.

For those who follow Q, “it” has repeatedly referred to the “keystone” has critical to exposing the Deep State and corruption with our government. Oddly, the logo for the SES is a keystone! Dah, dah! The Untouchables. March 13, 2018

MUST READ: In addition, the following three-part series investigates the massive privatization of our intelligence services. I have read that the CIA is behind every country that relies on it opium production to boost its GDP and often includes Deep State trafficking of humans, human parts, arms, drugs, military intelligence, patents and copyrights.

I remember reading in fall of 2016 the GAO Office had issued concerns or noted concerns, of a number of political appointee positions were being rolled into permanent gov jobs but do not remember who their concerns were directed to.

There’s a name for it. It’s called “Burrowing In.” It’s the process of converting SES and other political appointees into career federal civil service positions prior to the expiration of a presidential term. Each year OPM warns agencies about doing it, and each year it continues.

#SOCIALISMKILLS

I used to be a Democrat until 33 years ago. I am the first Republican in my family, although many of them always voted Republican. I was President of the Young Dems in our county in 1985, but switched to the GOP that year over the abortion issue, once I saw who our party was going to nominate here in NC for its races.

There are two problems that the GOP had then and continues to have now.

1) The GOP party exists for NO PURPOSE except to nom candidates and to provide window dressing for the GOP candidates to make it look like there are actually people in the precincts who are active and labor for the party. The ONLY activists who do ANY work for the party or evangelicals and tea partiers. When the party runs a GOPe candidate, people are not enthused to get out and turn the vote out. So the GOP just depends on C of Commerce money to pay for media campaigns. I went into two different county parties last year about a month before the election looking for Trump yard signs. Both were dead. One had the local party chair there and questioned me like I was an ICE agent showing up at a Cinco de Mayo party. I told him I came for a yard sign for Trump. They had some but they were not with the other signs. He asked me for 5 bucks and I paid him and left.

Then later that day, I went to my own county party office. There were 3-4 older guys sitting in the back of the office, drinking coffee and talking among themselves. All they needed was a checkers board and a pretty waitress and you would have thought you were walking into the diner on Andy Griffith show. I told them I came to help. They took my name and number and never, ever called me.

God bless them.

2) Our party simply has to focus on candidate recruitment. Most of the MAGA voters do NOT want the same ole, same ole, Chamber of Commerce, lobbyist-lookalike good ole boys for candidates. We VOTE for them, but they don’t inspire anyone to actually get out and vote. We also need to stop choosing candidates that like to preach down to voters. I am a single-issue voter, and will never vote for a pro-choice candidate. EVER. But Roy Moore and this Saccone guy both were weak candidates and I cannot fathom why people in the party pushed them forward as our candidates.

Laziness and self-inflicted wounds cost us elections. NOT PDJT and the MAGA team he has put together.

The “old boy” network behind the scenes that you don’t see controls things. They run the old fart candidates with baggage because they have paid their dues to the “party” throughout the years and “it is their turn”.

THAT IS WHY.

We have to get involved from the ground up at the local committee level EVERYWHERE.

With you all the way, especially on the candidate recruitment. We need better recruitment.

What happens so often is that operatives will choose candidates based upon how much money they will be paid, and so forth. They don’t care if the candidate is good, many times, they just want to get paid and aggrandize themselves.

We have to get away from that.

The Dems are now serious on running good (read: Fake MAGA) candidates. If we do the same, we should hold Congress for Trump. If we do not do this, and run poor candidates, we will lose. As with Roy Moore and apparently Rick Saccone.

If you are a feeling like a chicken little doomsayer, I’d ask you to reconsider before posting things similar to the “Sky is falling” narrative we are going to hear for days should Lamb prevail in Pennsylvania.

Does the RNC/GOP need to wake up? Yes.

Is the RNC outraising the DNC? Yes.

Is the “Trump won PA18 by 22 points and OMG Blue Wave after Lamb win” a false narrative? Yes.

Is the GOP apparently getting more increased registration than Dems in key states? Yes.

As I stated in a reply above, there have now been 8 national-level special elections since Trump took office. 7 GOP seats, 1 Dem seat. 2 of the seats flipped parties (Alabama Senate; PA18 if Lamb wins).

Roy Moore was a disastrous candidate (sexual stuff during the race) whom Trump knew would be vulnerable in the general election. Thanks, Bannon.

Rick Saccone was a no-charisma, no-fundraising castaway who was going against a military veteran from a political family who ran a great campaign and who had no political baggage to weigh him down. In a +50K Dem district.

Don’t fall for the spin. We have to win, but we’re not going to win based upon hysterical reactions and emotion.

We’re going to be hit hard with Blue Wave Fever the next few days. I would advise people who get upset by such things to turn off the media for awhile.

Good post. We all just have to ignore it and work for the MAGA candidates like we mean it and not just sit back and give a few dollars and assume that others will knock on the doors and make phone calls.

Mid terms will be a state by state thing. More interest is generated than isolated special elections. In some states Senators and/or Governors are running as well as all Congressmen.

GOP will have 36 “open seats” and the Dems only 16. It is in the 36 open GOP seats where loss of the House is most likely to happen, and where SOLID GOP replacement candidates are needed. All Treepers need to look at their own states—to see if your state is in play.

I say this b/c in NC there is no Senator or Gov running and I don’t know of any Congress turnovers—–so our state will be a fight over control of the state legislature. But nothing National.

She has insulted all of middle America,the so called fly over country. It’s very plain she hates us and believes that the only people that are smart and matter live on the east and west coasts.Thank God for the electoral college!!!!

It’s ALWAYS posed a clear and present danger to our freedom and safety. It’s ALWAYS been clear that PC was a mental and emotional manipulative tool with a political agenda!

I STILL can’t believe anyone would get upset over “offending” anyone, much less a liberal snowflake. smh

Being “offended” is a choice! Look….

Say I call someone an idiot. That can be an honest opinion, or I could be TRYING to offend that person. Regardless, at that moment, they have any number of emotional choices to make. They can laugh it off, ignore it, respond in kind, get angry, etc.

But the KEY THING is….that’s their choice!

Telling someone “I’m offended” implies that the accused offender is responsible for the other person’s emotional choice….which is BS….particularly when they have the choice of laughing it off or ignoring it altogether….and this regardless if the accused was trying to be offensive or not. In fact…

Telling someone “I’m offended” only serves to tell them they own you emotionally and can push you off your center anytime they choose. This is why PDJT is such a master!

The only reason why PC ever worked is because there are truly so many stupid people walking around with victim mentalities who don’t know how their own minds work.

Do you think PDJT actually cares if he offends anyone? I got news for you. He doesn’t. Not in the slightest. And THAT’s why he’s untouchable and his liberal targets are his footstools. THAT’S why people say Trump is living in their heads “rent free”.

Let’s just hope the liberal idiots don’t wake up until after 2020. Meanwhile, there are a LOT of conservatives and moderates who really need to do so, and a number of them are here at CTH.

Also, if the Dems do well with their “fake conservative, fake blue dog” candidates, then my guess is that you will start hearing more about Biden running in 2020.

Biden will not beat Trump (at least not straight up; could be different if Trump is impeached, economy staggers, etc).

Hillary ran as a Blue Dog Dem (or some version of that) in 2008, to Obama’s radical. She tried to win with working-class whites. Since that time, Dems have basically abandoned that strategy and gone far, far left.

The Dems will do anything to win. That’s why they are running people like Conor Lamb.

Kamala Harris, Deval Patrick, Elizabeth Warren, Oprah and so forth are not going to help you win whites against Trump.

Biden might, at least Team Obama (who is still running the Dem Party) could think that Biden might. And Biden is an Obama puppet now (unlike Bernie Sanders).

Look for this is more “Conor Lambs” win in 2018, particularly if the Dems take the House.

One such scenario I read was Biden runs and will only serve one term as president, and then the Dems put in someone else (maybe Biden/Deval)?

Joe is a goofball. But if Team Obama thinks he can help them get power back in the White House, he will be considered.

There is no way anyone is going to beat Trump. Trump proved he doesn’t need a Party to win. The Democrats tried to defeat Trump and the Republican bigwigs with their machine tried to defeat Trump.

If Trump were to run as an Independent, Trump would get all the Republicans as before who voted for Trump and half the Democrats. The only way Trump doesn’t win re-election is if he says, “I’m not running”. Trump would probably have more democrats support his policies if Trump was an Independent.

In 2006, Democrats could do that consistently. Anyone who thinks Democratic primaries will create those kind of candidates this time around has not been watching what has been happening at Democratic grassroots since 2006. https://t.co/RHWiHlcBkr

I view this as a great opportunity for the GOP if Lamb wins. Think how those who voted for him will feel when he runs into Pelosi’s arms, shouting “ We did, we screwed those idiots again!” They will have 6 months of festering rage, just waiting for November to fix their mistake. And the whole country will know it.

That’s the only bright spot that I can think of too, Earl, if Lamb *does* win: That he’ll pull an obvious Dem blunder and put to rest for once and for all that a Dem candidate could possibly be acceptable, under any circumstances.

One thing I’ve not seen mentioned about the PA election was the seat became open because the Republican resigned over a torrid person issue that became public. I bet the local dimmie news pounded that story heavily leading up to this election. So, Saccone May have been a lackluster candidate but he had an up hill battle from the start. Anyhow, if he loses it will be by a slim margin.

A federal appeals court upheld a majority of Texas law that targets sanctuary cities and cracks down on illegal immigration Tuesday afternoon.

A three-judge panel in New Oreans’ 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled Texas’ current immigration enforcement laws are constitutional. Senate Bill 4 enacted the law allowing local law enforcement officers to question the immigration status of people they detain or arrest, The Texas Tribune reported.

Under a new state law, penalties for election crimes would be increased to the next-highest offense level. Misdemeanors will become felonies, and low-level felonies would get an upgrade.

Fines associated with the crimes also would increase. Fraudulent use of a ballot, for instance, would rise from a state jail felony to a third-degree felony, punishable by two to 10 years in prison and a $10,000 fine.
—————–

We’re onto the liberal cheats. They’re gonna do hard time down here when we catch ’em, and we WILL catch ’em.

If there is mail in ballot fraud, it is because someone on the inside is looking up the names of people who are registered and don’t vote and are mailing the ballots to one address or sending them in themselves. They just need to find out who is doing it. Just like the bunch found on a doorstep in California.

Watching my local California news and it appears PDJT had a good pro-Trump turnout on the border today. In fact, the crowd appeared to be more for than against. Granted, there is a large population of Republicans in the southern part of the state but I fully expected to see the crazy progressives turn out in droves. That didn’t happen I’m happy to report.

And I’ve been hearing rumblings of a large silent majority that does not agree with the sanctuary state policy. There might just be hope for my state after all.

A Conservative is a Liberal that has been mugged. California has been mugged, raped, robbed and beaten as a result of their liberal policies. Without voter fraud — non-citizens voting — California might surprise you.

The Republican Brand needs to become America First in 2018…looking at the Pennsylvania election results, the numbers are there for a complete 2018 landslide: pro-family, pro-life, pro-gun, pro-military, pro-union, pro-business, and lower taxes Candidate. The key is packaging! Independent business men and women would be ideal…notice Dems are mostly government linked…

See my tweet below. I believe this was prepared for Pompeo going to State. They expected that at some point there would be massive moves against Clinton, so they decided to blitzkrieg the right media on weak stuff to divert them from attacking Cankles.

Kinda smart, but my feeling is that a hard push back is going to win. For example, the attacks on Charlottesville are almost destined to fail if big discovery is granted, because there is so much sketchy on the van blockage.

I see where you’re going with this. And if you’re right, it is a genius move.

That said, this is an odd suit. The original story broke on an affiliate Fox station. That reporter is a named defendant. Sean Hannity who covered the story on this show is not a named defendant.

Evidently, Fox News had the story on their website for about a week before they took it down and the parents are claiming that it has caused continued emotional distress because the story/theory is perpetually being spread on social media.

In reality, the story began with Wikileaks and has taken on a life of its own, entirely separate and apart from Fox News. In fact, it would still be a story/theory in perpetuity even if Fox had never covered it.

THIS IS INTERESTING!
After reading Dallas County DA investigating possible mail-in ballot fraud, the next ‘DallasNews’ headline caught my eye.
(“Stormy Daniels” & her Notary live in Texas!)

An observant NY Notary noticed a notary violation on the (alias) Ms. Daniels’ NDA and reported the *named* Texas Notary, now herself under a State of Texas Demand letter – & wants to see her ‘recordbook’ – last 10 entries, I think it said!
Apparently, per article, Ms. Daniels is claiming her “activity” occured in California.

Excerpt:
“Texas officials are investigating whether a Dallas-area notary properly signed off on Stormy Daniels’ agreement to stay quiet about her alleged affair with President Donald Trump.

The notary issue is the latest in a string of curiosities surrounding the murky deal involving Trump personal lawyer Michael Cohen and the adult-film actress, whose real name is Stephanie Clifford.

A notary in Forney, where Daniels lives, did not sign and date the 2016 agreement, which was finalized a few days before the presidential election. She also did not provide a certificate reflecting whose signature she was witnessing, according to the Texas Secretary of State.”

If this is true this is what we face everywhere. We must get the truth out to everyone.

Like I said in another thread, talked to a blue dog Democrat relative. The Dems have gotten their talking points out in this region. 1) Only management got the bonuses from the tax cuts 2) Trump was full of bull; coal’s not coming back. These people are also scared to death about healthcare. The Republican establishment HATES these kind of people. They view them as ‘useless eaters’. They are not interested in their votes</i<

This aint going to play well with some, but I’ve also heard from the same corners WTTE “people didn’t vote for mass deportations; they voted to drain the swamp” and there hasn’t been a lot of swamp draining. Now, I very much want the mass deportations, but I’m a right winger. I think a lot of the never voteds and dem crossovers were sick of DC corruption and wanted to see an outsider do something about it. All anecdotal.

I don’t know much about your local elections, as a foreigner, but how are the candidates found for a race like in PA? What I see from Denmark, is that people don’t want the same old, same old that’s why Trump is president, Le Pen got 33%, brexit, and all the other political surprises we have had the last two years. But when it comes to elections like last night, the Rep kandidate is a old, nice, soft talking grandfather type, or the Moore type….. where are the 30 something M/F with passion, love of God and country, who can show, that Trump is not a unicorn, he’s not the only personality in a party full of granddads, and invisible wall flowers.

You know like a trey Growdy, just with enough male appendix to get stuff done

As I live in Europe, I’m only familiar with the high profile names, and the candidates covered here and on RSBN, so I only know Jim Jordan and I like him. But why isn’t the party out finding JJ in every state? Moore was not my cup of tea, maybe Becuse the cowboy image is not really the European way, but he was not a party candidate, and the party’s ran a swamp fiend against him, instead of a new fresh Trumpican candidate.
I’m in local politics myself, and I know that the “old boys” club doesn’t get changing political ideas, as they think progress is doing today, what they did last year, but I am running to get in to the leadership of the local party, and stir s#*% up, because we need to learn a new way of politics too, here in the old wold, no more nice guys, no more going more than halfway to compromise, Trump showed you can beat the system, but we have to get down in the dirt and kick the dust off the system

THIS explains the multiple attacks on right-pundits. Deep State knows that Clinton is GOING DOWN very soon, now that her old *NEMESIS* (watch the video) Mike Pompeo can ORDER UP damning evidence, AT WILL, sitting in her old desk.

I will admit this guy is speculating, but it’s just powerful slap-you-down speculation. It’s like saying:

“Trump just put Bibi in charge of the task force looking into the Iran deal. Any questions?”

LOL. Buckle up. The only thing that can make this go off track is the location – Little Rock – conveniently close to WITNESSES and OLD CRONIES. That kinda works both ways. And OH THIS IS TRUMP AND SESSIONS. So did they think of that earlier?

Jeff Sessions Has a Huge Conflict of Interest in a Federal Bribery Case—and It Keeps Getting WorseAs Alabama’s junior senator, Jeff Sessions was far more involved than previously known in helping two of his top contributors derail a federal environmental cleanup effort, according to records obtained under the Freedom of Information Act by Mother Jones and the Project on Government Oversight. The stalled cleanup is now at the center of a federal bribery case spearheaded by the Justice Department, posing a serious conflict of interest for Sessions, who is now attorney general. Yet there is no indication that Sessions has taken any steps to recuse himself from this matter…

Total scare-mongering article. Here’s your most salient quote from the entire piece:

“Various officials stepped up to the plate for Balch and Drummond. There is no evidence the officials were clandestinely paid to do so. Rather, both firms have sought influence the traditional way—through generous donations to state legislators and members of the state’s congressional delegation. One of the most powerful allies Balch and Drummond had in their corner was then-Sen. Jeff Sessions.”

Sessions was quick to recuse himself over the Russia scandal, over anything to do with the 2016 campaign or Russia. He even announced his attention of doing so publicly during his confirmation hearing.

Yet in this case he demurs to his press spokesman, and has her give some lame excuse about the possibility that his recusing himself would tip off defendants on the status of investigation/litigation.

Well, I call that double-standard out as pure bullsh*t on the face of it.
I’ve been on the fence about Sessions for months now, but this information makes me start to wonder if he’s worried as hell that if he rocks the boat by going after the Deep State that they’ll be coming after him next and using this information as their ammunition.

Did you ever think about that, or are you immune to imagining such possibilities for blackmail by known character assassins?

I agree with Albertus Magnus upthread.
State Parties are driving us crazy here as well. Zero help nationally and nothing but threats to my business from the state party because we supported Trump instead of Cruz.
The stereotype of 4 old guys playing checkers, “Mayberry”, not welcoming new blood is typical. Yet, in our little county, our Repub club increased membership by 400%+ because we wanted the Trump supporters – AND we got young people too.
Like many Treepers here, we had to fight like crazy for our slate of delegates, against the Cruzbots, in 2016.
And this is a state organization my family has been involved with since the 1960’s.

For a recent state senate election, we went through re-districting and lost our “guy”. Replacing him was a guy who became the Dem Minority leader in the State Senate. He was from a neighboring county with a larger population.
Ugh.
We recruited a young local biz man and farmer to run against him. On our own, with no help from state or national, we flipped his seat a few months ago by turning out about 40% of our county – which overpowered the neighboring county turnout.
There’s only about 50 people in our club but we did it.

We have to do more at the local level, despite the obstacles and no money from state or national.
I admit, despite contributing to the RNC and Congressional races for almost 60 years, the RNC will get no more of my family money. We have to work every race, locally.

That is a great testimonial of the efforts required to MAGA daughnworks247.
We must lead by example, we cannot leave it up to the RNC to determine our local reps,
Find and support OUR unabashed, proud to be MAGA candidates,
Assure their names and positions/ alignment with PDJT are real, and seen everywhere,
despite what the RNC serves us. all politics is local .
Thank You !

GOPe needs to stop trying to shove “Right-to-Work” Koch-heads into Union/Labor representing districts, and forcing Trump into a position to have to defend these candidates when everyone knows he doesn’t support that message.
